6-6-09: 4 miles very easy in 34 minutes. Ran with Heather around St Paul's in Concord. Some really nice trails in the area.
6-7-09: 6 miles easy in 44 minutes at Smuttynose 5k. Run was ok, but leg was pretty stiff. Good news is that Heather won! She took home alot of swag including a case of beer.....yeah Heather.
6-8-09: Day off. Did lots of stretching and massage.
6-9-09: 6 miles easy in 42 minutes, leg felt pretty bad at first but got much better as run went on. Picked up the pace as this run went on and the leg seemed to loosen up pretty good.
6-10-09: 4 miles real easy in 30 minutes. Ran with Heather in Concord to preview the Run 4 Rusty course. The course is very nice. Pretty flat with 2 miles of road, then 1 mile of trail (mostly flat) and then 1 mile of road (one good hill) back to the finish.
6-11-09: 6.5 miles in 49 minutes with Seth on the Merrimack river trail. Run was going pretty well up till the last couple miles. The hamstring and knee really tightened up and made for a slightly uncomfortable finish. But at least there was no pain.
The plan now is to take today off and do some stretching and massage. Then run I will run an easy 4-5 miles Saturday and then run the Run 4 Rusty on Sunday. The goal is to finish the race in no pain while trying to run a "tempo pace". I hope to get back to a more normal training schedule next week.
